Cm9                  D#7Mth
Running as fast as I can
Ab                    Eb  D#7Mth
Can't even see where I am now
Cm9                   D#7Mth
Over the soldiers and sand
Ab                       Eb  D#7Mth
This wasn't part of the plan

Although I know it comes

Chorus 1:
Bb              Cm9            Ab
If I ever see blue skies in my town
Ab
You know I'll kiss the
Eb         D#7Mth
ground we walk on
Bb               Cm9            Ab
If I ever watch fire flies all around
                   Eb     D#7Mth
Shining like the stars above them
    Ab                    Cm9
The bullets fly over my head
Ab                           Eb    Bb
Just like the words that you said, son,
   A#min         Ab
So put down your guns
    G#min
And thats the way
the war was won

Over the border there's no bombs
Cm9                     D#7Mth
Falling on soldiers and sand
Ab                             Eb   D#7Mth
holding their hearts in their hands
